Friends and colleagues: Many countries around the world now take seriously the need to manage and protect their cultural heritage.  An infrastructure project in Brazil shows how that country is discovering, investigating and protecting its archaeological sites, as seen in Archaeology in Taguatinga Valley, the latest video feature on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org).

This video describes the Archaeological Scientific Salvage and Cultural Heritage Management Program of Taguatinga Valley in Brazil’s capital, Brasilia.  The Goiano Institute of Pre-History and Anthropology (IGPA) from the Catholic University of Goias (UCG) conducted research on a massive water treatment project and carried out extensive public education.  The work was supervised by Brazilian National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN) and funded under contract by the Company of Basic Sanitation of Brasilia (CAESB).

This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  We urge you to support this public service by participating in our Membership http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting (http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.shtml) programs.  Only with your help can we continue and enhance our nonprofit public-education and visitor-supported programming.  We also welcome new content partners as we reach out to the world community.

Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
